As some of you may have seen I have recently acquired a new Marshall DSL5 combo amp. Its great and I love it but it sits on the floor in my teaching room, whereas the learner's amp is propped up on a small table. This causes them to be louder than me.
I have been looking at finding something to raise the height of my amp, another table would take up too much space to fit in the room. I've also seen amp stands on Amazon but again they're going to take up too much space and the legs look flimsy.
I know people at pub gigs use a beer crate or something like a box/flight case to rest their amp on, i just need something like that to slide underneath my amp to make it a bit higher as last time I checked my legs don't hear sound.
Does anyone use any makeshift stuff or know anywhere I can get such a thing?

It’s still the height that matters (and not even that, once it’s above the height where the effect goes away) and not the weight of the stand.

Second option would be an extension cab
or an amp stand - loads of metal frames out there for the job.
Or get get some wood and make one.
If you are interested, I could sort pics etc.
I think I've seen the Quik Lok stand, I want something flat box shaped just to make the amp higher, ideally.
Cheap, sturdy (especially if you glue as well as screw the legs) with space below for storage - they're even the right width for rack mounted gear.
I have two bolted one on top of the other in my home studio.
Seems to work OK.
